Chapter 1184: 815 Try It (4k, additional updates!)_2

If she speaks up now, there is no doubt that she will completely stiffen the situation.

Consider it doing that guy a favor.

Yang Ni repays evil with kindness and remains silent.

The dishes keep coming, abundant and pleasing to the eye, full of flavor and aroma, but no one seems interested in picking up their chopsticks.

"Mr. Jiang, do you look down on the Gangcheng market that much?"

Guo Xitang spoke without warmth, influenced either by Mai Jie’s instigation or by his dissatisfaction with Jiang Chen’s "arrogance".

He and Xiang Yonghua had personally hosted the banquet, giving ample respect and consideration.

Yet still, it was unappreciated.

This was surely too ungrateful.

"Mr. Guo, that’s not what I meant. On the contrary, I personally quite like the old Gangcheng films,"

Jiang Chen said sincerely.

Mai Jie, whose patience had already run out, didn’t want to listen to his nonsense anymore.

There’s a limit to everything.

They’ve swallowed such a huge humiliation, taking the initiative to negotiate, but the other party is getting more and more arrogant. So why spare their feelings?

"Mr. Jiang, I advise you to think it over. If you really disagree with this cooperation, then from now on, inland films and artists will not be welcomed by our Gangcheng either."

As soon as these words were uttered, there was a sudden silence in the room.

Not to mention Yang Ni, even Pei Yunxi, who was known for her clarity and lack of desire in the circle, suddenly turned to look at the decisive Mai Jie.

This sounded simple, but the implication was actually to ban inland films and artists.

If someone else had said this, it might be laughable, but with the influence of the Xiang Family and the Guo family, it could very well be done!

"If other companies from the inland have any objections by then, it will be up to Mr. Jiang to explain,"

Mai Jie continued to add fuel to the fire.

Soft approach first, then hard.

This woman, whose background was no less than her husband Xiang Yonghua’s, finally showed her strong and towering presence after reaching her limit.

If it really came to pass, outright banning inland artists like Yang Ni and Pei Yunxi, and stopping the screening of inland films, it definitely wouldn’t just affect CX Entertainment alone.

When the time comes, the main troublemaker who lets everyone else pay for his mistakes will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

Jiang Chen didn’t expect the other party to play such a trump card; caught off guard, he couldn’t help but find it absurd.

How come he suddenly seemed to become the villain disrupting unity?

He was simply exercising legal rights.

Could it be said...

that if you want to make a movie with me, I can’t refuse?

And also disregard the previous threats and intimidation as if nothing happened?

It appears that they are still used to being high-handed and autocratic.

Thoughts haven’t completely shifted from the old era.

Mai Jie’s words brought the atmosphere at the banquet to freezing point.

Yet Xiang Yonghua did not speak to ease the situation but chose to remain silent.

Obviously...

This was also his attitude.

Yang Ni’s heart tightened again.

Despite the vast differences between the markets of the two places, if this were really done, the impact would be immense, so much so that she might have to be extremely cautious even when visiting her daughter in the future.

"If Madam Xiang really intends to do this, I think I have no way to change Madam Xiang’s decision,"

Jiang Chen, who hadn’t eaten a bite since his arrival, spoke unhurriedly and calmly.

Mai Jie frowned and looked cold. Before she could speak, she heard this young man in his twenties, even younger than her own son, continue in an unflappable tone: "However, I would still ask Madam Xiang to consider carefully before making such a decision. Doing this would greatly harm the sentiment of movie fans in both regions and have an extremely adverse impact on the film industry."

"You are willing to take responsibility for this, aren’t you, Mr. Jiang,"

Mai Jie sneered.

Jiang Chen also smiled, nodded, "If Madam Xiang insists on this, I will explain to my colleagues in the industry, and our CX Entertainment will also take corresponding measures."

"What measures?"

Mai Jie asked coldly.

The generally silent Bai Haoran just watched her plump face, his fingers gently stroking.

"I will call on my industry colleagues to do the same as Madam Xiang, temporarily banning Gangcheng artists from performing activities in the inland, and withdrawing Gangcheng films from screening."

It was like thunder in silence!

Everyone’s gaze tightened!

The film markets of both regions are like small lakes compared to seas.

Due to the increasingly declining environment, many Gangcheng artists, like Yang Ni’s ex-husband Wei Dongxu, have shifted their focus to the inland to seek development opportunities.

If both sides "ban" each other, the mainland will be affected, no doubt, but compared to that, Gangcheng may not be able to bear the consequences, and for some artists and companies, it could be akin to a catastrophe!

"Ha!"

After the shock, Mai Jie couldn’t help but slap the table, pushing the banquet towards a dire precipice.

"Such big words!"

It’s said that one should not impose on others what one does not desire.

Yet human nature seems to be just like that.

Self-interest.

Selfish.

Only allowing oneself to treat others in a certain way, but unable to accept when the same methods are used against oneself.

"You say ban, and it’s banned?"

Mai Jie glared furiously.

The atmosphere plummeted and was beyond salvage.

"What I said was only a possibility."

Jiang Chen looked her in the eye, his smile calm and friendly, "Mrs. Xiang can try, if she likes."

Give it a try.

Yang Ni held her breath, her heart pounding like a scared deer.

How many people would dare to speak like this in front of the Xiang Family couple and the presence of the Guo Family?

Give it a try?

Mai Jie’s expression was gloomy and harsh, her breathing short, yet she said no more.

Xiang Yonghua was expressionless.

Guo Xitang watched the young man, who remained cheerful and carefree, and after a while, spoke, "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Xiang was just joking, don’t take it to heart."

"..."

Yang Ni was shocked.

One would assume that in such a situation, the conflict would escalate, but who knew that the Guo Family, a renowned family of Gangcheng, would actually back down?

That is to say.

The Guo Family believes, or thinks, that this family really has the power to take action?

Jiang Chen looked at Guo Xitang and lightly smiled.

"I was also joking."

Then, he picked up his water glass and took a sip.

"Mr. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang, Mr. Guo, thank you for your hospitality."

Such a thank-you for your hospitality.

"If there happens to be an opportunity in the future, I would definitely reciprocate if you visit the mainland. I hope for such an opportunity."

He said significantly, took a sip of water, without even touching his chopsticks and stood up.

"Please enjoy your meal."

Pei Yunxi stood up as well.

Yang Ni, coming back to her senses, hurriedly stood up too.

Watching them leave the table, and turn to walk downstairs, Mai Jie’s expression was ice-cold as if dripping water, her eyes wildly fluctuating, tightly clenching her fists, as if struggling with a surge of emotions.

Jiang Chen and his group had already stepped down the stairs.

There was still time to speak up.

The people in and outside the restaurant were enough to make this young man pay dearly for his arrogance!

Just as Mai Jie was about to lose her restraint, with her lips parting, Guo Xitang said, "Let them go."

Mai Jie turned her head, her eyes sharp as needles.

Guo Xitang watched the group descend the stairs.

"Choose someone else."

"Mr. Guo, it’s not about the movie, this young man is too rude, completely disregarding us!"

Mai Jie could hardly contain her anger, losing control of her emotions.

She has probably never experienced such humiliation before.

"Detaining them, what good will that do? It will only make the situation uncontrollable."

True to his noble birth, his demeanor is indeed extraordinary.

Actually, to be precise, because of his brother Guo Anle, and not to mention hostility, Guo Xitang should at the very least hold some resentment towards Jiang Chen.

"Letting them walk away like this, our faces are completely lost!"

Guo Xitang could understand Mrs. Xiang’s feelings.

Jiang Chen and his group had already disappeared from the view of the second floor.

"Mr. Xiang, let’s end this matter here."

Guo Xitang disliked wasting words and didn’t say more to Mai Jie, looking at Xiang Yonghua.

"Even if we do nothing to him, those girls around him, such as those two actresses..."

Mai Jie clearly was truly furious this time, but before she could finish her sentence, an underling came running over with a phone.

"Madam..."

"Get out!"

With nowhere to vent, Mai Jie turned her head sharply and barked furiously.

The muscular man bowed his head.

"It’s a call from the hospital."

Hearing this, Mai Jie frowned and then took the phone.

Xiang Yonghua and Guo Xitang automatically watched her.

Who knows what was said on the other end of the phone.

Mai Jie’s face, previously filled with rage, changed dramatically.
